Editor

As explained in WordPress Power Toolkit: Harness AI to build next-level websites

An editor role is a WordPress user role that can manage site content and moderate posts but cannot manage users, settings, plugins, or themes.

An editor has two related meanings: a WordPress role for managing site content and a human reviewer who selects, improves, and critiques AI-assisted work. section 1.2.3 section 2.8.1

In WordPress, an Editor can:

  • Add, delete, or modify any site content. section 2.8.1
  • Moderate blog posts. section 2.8.1
  • Avoid installing or manipulating plugins and themes, managing users, or changing site settings. section 2.8.1

Editing an AI draft

Give AI the research and first draft, then act as the editor: choose the strongest version, request revisions or fact-checking, and polish clarity, tone, transitions, and concision. A reusable “:Edit:” prompt can ask for clearer wording, shorter sentences, helpful analogies, and smoother transitions. section 1.2.3 section 4.2
